The first four participants in AEW's upcoming TNT Championship tournament have been revealed.

AEW Dark this week kicked off with Tony Schiavone and Cody Rhodes announcing the first two tournament matches: Shawn Spears vs. Cody and Sammy Guevara vs. Darby Allin.

Cody reacted to the announcement talking about how the first match is an All Out rematch and how both of his possible second opponents have taken him to the limit as well.

As we previously reported, the tournament to crown AEW's first-ever TNT Champion is set to begin next month and scheduled to culminate at Double or Nothing in Las Vegas on May 23.

The rest of the competitors will be announced on Dynamite this week.
